One of our attorneys tells story of
money lender he once knew living in Den
mark. Being approached on a certain oc-
casion for money he told the borrower to
step into his room and he would get it out
OF his safe and let him have the sum
wanted As the borrower went in and
took a seat he saw no safe there, but the
money lender went to an old Bible and.
after turning over the leaves awhile, he
found the amount needed
What, siri do you call that a safey''
asked the borrower.

COMMERCIAL PROVERBS.

Men who have company must have money.
Some men carry too much SAIL some too
little
Great men, when analysed, usually prove
to be very small men.
Men trade on borrowed reputation as they
trade on borrowed capital
Good intentions will not help man on his
way if he takes the wrong road.
The history of trade shows that failure is
the rule and winning the exception.
Money moves the crops that make the
great west the granary of the world
One man is overnice and becomes fussy;
another il careless and loses his trade
The same great lesson of failure Is taught
In the professions that is taught in trade.
One man runs his business because he is a
sloven; another runs it because he is fop.
Men neither win nor lose in the same way.
One fails and is smart; another wins and is
dull
The merchants of old Tyre were princes,
and their traffickers were the honorable of
the earth"
Integrity, honor and piety do not save
man fro:a disaster if he fails to observe the
law of success
Talent and temper often so together 1t is
rare to find sharp, bright man that is
courteous man
The law of success is as certain as the law
of the tides. All must obey these laws if
they would rresier
A diamond wa Jaw IS better than
pebble without. But the flaw adds nothing
to the value Of tae diamond Exchange.
HOUSEHOLD DECORATION
Moorish lanterns look decidedly out Of
place in modern halls.
Ancestral armor made of papier r.ache is
not imposing in any sense of the wor,i
Twisted iron is considered the proper thing
for gas brackets in a good many handsome
rooms
An exceedingly artistic porticre can he
made Of an ordinary parti-colored grass
hammock
Most interiors nowadays run TO trash
Everybody ernbroiderz and everybody dec
crates china, and place must he found for
the results of their labors.
Keep your crockery where it belongs.
Plates and jugs do not belong on parlor walls
or over parior doors unless they are really
works of art, which precious few Of them
are.
People possessed of handsome and valuable
old fashioned epergnes are at loss what to
do with them. Anything that obstrncts the
view of ones opposite neighbors is now CON
sidered very bad form" in table furnishing
Some new wall papers are 50 handsome
and look so much like old tapestries and six
brocades that they furnish the walls of n
room by themselves So, after YOU have
them up, don't conceal them with cbcan
pictures In expensive frames
Inc handsomest, one might say the only
admissible fire screen, is thick, beveI esi-e1
sheet OF plate glass. Anything that hide,
the glow OF fire from the sight is a ualrable
Diunder, for in these days Of furnaces and
steam heaters, the open fire is used, as rule.
only for decorative purposes
The present taste in bric-a-brac favors low
